GODS AND MORTALS
This is a collection of many stories and they are all excellent. I did not finish all of them due to many reasons none of which were because they were not good. They just did not hold my interest at this point but I am sure that I will be going back to them and reading those I did not get to finish. But since I am moving on for now, I wanted to review those that I did finish.
The Elsker Saga: Elsker
This is the first one in the series and I loved it. In fact, I put reading the others off until I could go and buy the rest of this series and read them.
I really enjoy Norse mythology and Ull was a new god to me. It was fun seeing how this author intertwined myth with fiction. I immediately was hooked. The characters are real and the situations that happen are so normal. It is not easy to mix our current urban lifestyle with ancient myth and make it work, this book certainly does.
A strong female character is always a plus for me when reading. She is actually a real person that you could actually meet on the street contributes so much to the storyline. I really enjoyed Ull and Kristia budding relationship and how she is strong enough and he is not able take her over. I love that here is a girl who was always overlooked but when a good-looking boy starts to take an interest in her, she doesn’t fall apart and remains true to herself.
I Bring the Fire Part I : Wolves (A Loki Story)
Just finished reading I Bring Fire and I was very surprised and delighted by the story line. I do not know a lot about Norse Mythology, always got lost in the names, but have some knowledge about other mythologies and very familiar with the Trickster, especially in Native American mythology. But reading this story, I was totally able to relate to the mythology part which was very interesting to me. I often felt like Amy when Loki said some things.
From the moment, I started reading I was captured by the storyline. Often you get a book because it sounds good in the write up or review and you just cannot get into it. Not this book, from page 1, I was totally enthralled and wanting to know what is going to happen next. I really enjoyed how the author developed the relationship between Loki and Amy. Beatrice was a very nice touch to the story, she kept the plot alive and filled in a lot of the gaps for both Amy and the reader, very nice touch.
I am not going to give away any spoilers but if you are looking for a excellent Urban Fantasy with a lot of suspense and a story full of action and mythology, then this book is a must read.
Symphony for the Devil
This story is very interesting and for the most part, I really liked it. I found Christa to be a very normal woman who has the same strengths and weaknesses that all modern women have which makes her a great character. I did love the fact that the author took the devil, demons and God and worked them into a storyline that made sense. The only thing that I found frustrating was that there were places that the storyline moved too slowly. That is totally my personal opinion, not everyone feels the same about giving a lot of extra, and background information, I just thought it slowed down the storyline. I am not saying that is bad because some readers love that. All in all it was a very good read and I truly liked the characters, they were very real and kept me interested in the story.
Dead Radiance
This story grabbed me right from the beginning. I loved Bryn, she is such a strong character. The ties to Norse myth were well worked in and I truly enjoyed how the author played with myth and modern times. This story moved quickly and kept me enthralled with the mysteries as they popped up. When a problem popped up, I was never able to guess the answer, which is really the way a good story should be. I was surprised by some of the outcomes but they were pleasant surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book to the series.
Nolander
Wow is what I have to say about this story. I truly enjoyed it and it had a little bit of everything. There was some mystery, some science fiction, some fantasy with a little bit of real life. It moves very quickly and keeps you wondering what will happen next. Just when you think you know a character, something changes and you find yourself wondering why or how that happened. I liked how psychology and science were part of the story because that makes you think that could really happen. It is a fun story to read if you are looking for an interesting, fast-paced story.
The Forgotten Ones: Book One of the Danaan Trilogy
I enjoyed this story very much. It grabbed me and kept me guessing throughout which is something I like. Nothing was obvious which kept you engaged with the story. Allison is certainly a strong woman who loves her family and has a goal, which she will fulfill. Since I really do like mythology, I found the subtle ties to myth intriguing. This was a fun story and I look forward to reading the next one in the series.

Loki and Thor as you have never before known them
I began reading this series when I had to wait for each new book to be published. Ragnarock was nothing compared to being forced to wait fo the author to complete and post each new publishing notice. Now, you can binge read through all the unique adventures of Loki, his human love interest, and all the other related characters C. Gockel has woven together into a Rainbow Bridge of unique and exciting adventures. I could not recommend this author any higher.
